Katherine's story:
10 years ago:
- I was barely starting out in IT with no college degree or certifications making $12.50/hr
-Worked as a security guard at night to barely scrape together money for study materials and certs. I only had 4 hours between the two jobs to sleep.
- Couldn't afford regular meals so I was eating out of a snack machine most of the time.
- My stress levels were through the roof since my car was always breaking down, didn't have any savings or really a place to live to call my own.
- I was probably in a constant state of working through any illnesses I caught because I couldn't afford to take a day off. Friends who saw me during this time said I was wrecked and I certainly felt like it.
Now in 2018:
- Finished college and grad school
- Definitely have some certifications out of the way
- In a job that I love
- I don't have 2 full time jobs with only 3-4 hours inb
- I've achieved a lot of great professional goals and I have a lot more on the horizon that I'm working on
- I eat much healthier now
- I work out
- My personal life is much better.
Here's to another 10 years of progress and health!
